What about the GPS Enhancement?

[theunits3]

I did use the GPS enhancement feature but I couldnt really tell as the signal was good without it anyway. I guess it willbe handy in some areas where there is poor signals.

Great job man. I've heard so many horror stories about the iphone TomTom app I was afraid to buy it. But the app just went on sell for the holidays so I needed a review on it and your review was good enough proke me to spend my hard earned cash. Thanks

its an auto update through the app store. just go into the app store and it should be under the 'updates' section.

Can anyone know add the link for the tomtom update please?

[yelromgnu]

dude did you gel your hair just for this clip?

[cjuckett]

That is not entirely accurate. I work with TomTom for this, and the description does note that it is not required for the 3g/3gs, however that does not mean it does not help. The car kit does in fact offer enhanced GPS reception for 3g/3gs users.

I just downloaded the latest 1.2v and after it finished it didn't want to re-boot. I reset the iphone and....nothing! So I deleted tomtom from the iphone and sync with iTunes and....it worked. Just had a play with it and your so right it's so much refreshed and is quicker. The lane images is for me the best feature as sometimes with left and right I still need to think and seeing a picture is just easy to follow:-) Again, enjoyed you view:-)

Was you using the car kit or just the iphone stand-alone with the enhancer on?

Thanks
